Here's at least the start of a Pendant controller , it's by no means a finished item , but with feedback from members , it no doubt will become a welcome addition , at the moment the code supports 24 keys & seperate joysticks for each axis , however from some feedback it's been suggested that one joystick is used and switched between axis to be controlled . so i am open to ideas along with ideas for a case and panel layout , cad files for ideas are gratefully recieved , along with any discussions . how about an Infra red port etc , one key will be reserved for an emergency off kill switch .
once we can agree on a panel layout and keys needed , i can then trim the code to suit and produce pcb's and panels , but if someone wishes to contribute then by all means go for it .
the gif file is a basic layout of the schematic of the working code
the code is suited at the moment for an AVR Mega8 using AvrStudio v9 or greater .
